On the opposite side of the road to its pleasant beer garden and the beach, this is busy single bar pub with a restaurant upstairs. The bar area is long and narrow, with beamed ceilings, full and half height timber panelling, an old Victorian cast iron fireplace that warms the pub in winter, and interesting photographs of the village in bygone days. The nearby Foot Ferry is supposedly the oldest in England.
